So I purchased my BeFree at mile 150 on the PCT. It worked beautifully, full flow, ease of use, just as advertised. I completed my hike at Kennedy Meadows South, mile 704. BeFree was still working well, no problems, but not flowing as nicely. I get home, go to use the filter a few weeks later on a 4 day hike & it’s completely ineffective. So, I read, I watch You Tube, and try all the remedies to unplug the filter. Nothing. I mean it won’t flow at all. I hate to spend for a new filter, and can’t believe mine is totally shot, yet.
What did I do? What can I do? Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, found any solutions? It’s a great product, and I should have a ton of life left on mine. What am I missing?
Thanks for all the good input and advice…..
